This video game meets walking tour takes you back to depression era Sydney to explore the seedy underworld that once dominated Darlinghurst and the Eastern Suburbs. Find out all about the bordello queens and coke barons who terrified Sydney siders for years, and get wrapped up in their world of sly grog, drug dens and razor wars. You’ll be given a nifty GPS movie player to guide you around on your quest and one hour to complete the game. It’s a great (and free!) way to learn more about the city’s sleazy history and discover a pretty rad area while you’re at it.

April Fools Day may not have the same reputation as St Pat’s or Oktoberfest as a boozy-good-times holiday, but heck, it’s week five! We’ll take any excuse to get loose. Lucky for us then than the impossibly cool people from pedestrian.tv will be taking over FBi Social at the Kings Cross Hotel this Friday for Fools Rush In. The night will feature a gazillion of Sydney’s best DJ’s (plus a member of the Chaser!) playing classic party jams and indie anthems till late. It is a subscriber only event, but hey, signing up to a very rad and very free newsletter is totally worth it.

Ok, so it’s mid sem break, the housework’s done and a batch of cookies are baking in the oven. FINALLY! I have time to blog in the first time in ages. Soo, what’s happening then? Freaky Tiki is closing down this week! Boo! But at least that means it’s going to be a pretty awesome […]

A Clockwork Orange @ COFA If you haven’t read the book yet, quickly do it now! We’ll wait… … … You done now? Good, because Stanley Kubrick’s amazing 1971 film version is screening tomorrow night. Get over to the COFA Common Room (on the first floor of E block at COFA’s Paddington campus) at 6:30pm. […]

Good lord it’s been a while. I’m in illness lockdown so what better way to cheer myself up than to write about all the things I will probably be too sick to do all week! It is therefore vitally important that you, dear reader, make sure you go out and do these things on my […]
